Hey there, it’s me. The CamelBak you bought in 2012 before a post-grad backpacking adventure. Remember that? You used to show me off to all your friends. I was a twenty-five-ounce, dishwasher-safe piece of proof of your commitment to the environment. You used to take me on trips. You even took me to work. We were inseparable.
Sure, I’ve been languishing in the back of your cupboard for the better part of a decade, but every relationship has its peaks and troughs, and I figured we’d get through the dry spell eventually. So imagine my surprise when I discovered that there was someone else—a pastel-colored interloper by the name of Stanley. A real blow to my confidence, that was.
We’ve been through a lot together, so I’m giving you an opportunity to be honest: Are you breaking up with me? I just need to know.

Agnes Callard is among the world’s most famous living philosophers, and certainly the one most likely to trend on your social media feed for a hot take or ill-advised poll (most recently, “Would you prefer to live the life of a slave owner, or the life of a slave?”) The University of Chicago professor is known for her public contrarian stances, like making a case against travel or for divorcing your husband but having him still live with you as you date your grad student.
CHARLIE BROWN: Hey, Lucy. What’re you doing?
LUCY: I’m going to kill my mother, Charlie Brown.
CHARLIE BROWN: Why would you do something like that?
LUCY: Because the land stinks, Charlie Brown. Nothing but sin grows down here—that’s why folks are so religious. And I figure it doesn’t matter the sort of sin I commit, I’ll be punished in hell for it anyways, the way most preachers talk. Might as well go big.
CHARLIE BROWN: Good grief.
Drupal 11 development has reached a point where the system requirements are being raised in the development branch. To prepare core developers for this and to inform the community at large, we are announcing the following requirements for Drupal 11.
Webserver
We announced in mid-February that there is an RFC to remove support for Windows in production. Other webserver requirements are unchanged.
PHP
Drupal 11 will require PHP 8.3 and older versions of PHP are not supported. Note that as of Drupal 9.4, a policy was adopted to automatically drop support for PHP versions no longer supported by the PHP maintainers, so future minor versions of Drupal 11 will increase the requirement further.
However much the British government plays fast and loose with our future by treating climate change as a political football, there is a reality it can’t deny: climate action is necessary. That’s why, against all its better instincts, it announced last month that Britain would exit the most climate-wrecking treaty of all — the Energy […]
